What are the schools in Sapa like?

Answer this Question

When we asked about the schools in Sapa, they said...

"Sapa is a small town in the northern part of the country, known for its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage. However, it is not a major city and does not have a wide range of international or bilingual schools. Most of the schools in Sapa are local public schools, where instruction is primarily in Vietnamese. One of the few exceptions is the Sapa O'Chau Academy, a boarding school that provides education for ethnic minority children in the region. The school offers a bilingual curriculum in Vietnamese and English, and also provides vocational training in fields like hospitality and tourism. More information about Sapa O'Chau Academy can be found on their website: https://sapaochau.org. For expatriate families living in Sapa, it may be more common to homeschool their children or to send them to international schools in larger cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. These cities have a number of high-quality international schools, such as the British International School Hanoi, the American International School Vietnam, and the International School Ho Chi Minh City. These schools offer internationally recognized curricula, such as the International Baccalaureate, and instruction is primarily in English," explained one expat living in Sapa, Vietnam.
